Security of Network and Applications
Jean-Marc THIRIET (
) and Denis LUBINEAU (
).
Objectives
The objective of this class is to introduce security principles, on the theoretical, organizational and technical aspects.
The points which are more specifically developed are: detection errors, firewall technics, network architecture, cryptology and VPN, anti-virus strategy. Are also discussed how to implement a security strategy, and some elements for the definition of a security policy.
Some elements about safe networks, or networks for safety or critical applications, are also studied.
